• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Constitution of this Republic recognises ethnicity. So, you cannot bar somebody from discussing it. That community provided the Chairperson of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). This Parliament vetted that person. The Managing Director of Kenya Ports Authority was discussed, vetted and given the job by this House. Today, we are here discussing Dr. Nyakang’o from the same community and yet other communities in this country continue to be marginalised.
